Wherever I meet refugees around the world, I hear the same hope: to return home in safety and dignity.
This video captures the joy of nearly 500 Rwandan refugees returning home this week from the DRC. Almost 6,000 have returned so far this year.
In June, I joined discussions between Rwanda and the DRC, as part of the Washington Accord, on safe and voluntary returns. It is encouraging to see that dialogue translating into action.
As we work towards our ambition of 50% fewer refugees dependent on aid in protracted situations by 2035, this is welcome progress. But it is only the beginning.

Today, #Kenya discharged its final #Ebola patient. The 42-day countdown to being declared Ebola-free starts tomorrow.
Kenya reported nine cases caused by the Bundibugyo virus, linked to an imported case from the DRC, including two deaths.
My congratulations to Kenya’s health workers, responders and government for their preparedness, surveillance, swift response and continued vigilance.

🌱 Two sides of the same story.
While some farmers in #Ethiopia are seeing promising harvests 🌾, others are struggling with the impacts of El Niño.
Through the #EHF, we aim to help more communities move from uncertainty towards greater stability and hope.

In Northern Mali, we are supporting people displaced by climate and insecurity, including 8m USD I’m announcing from our emergency fund.
Incredible dignity and determination as they rebuild their lives.
They are stepping up. As world leaders gather at #COP31 - will they?

Pleased to join President @EmmanuelMacron and fellow leaders at the @ParisPeaceForum, with its important focus on children.
Around the world, I have met refugee children whose lives have been uprooted by conflict, but not their hopes or ambitions.
Today’s declaration puts their rights first.
UNICEF vital work for children, together with UNHCR , UNESCO, WHO and many other partners, reminds us that protecting children requires all of us to act, from safety and health to education and opportunity.
“Survival without education is a broken promise.”
We must make good on that promise.
International law provides common ground, also when States disagree.
Today, at the @PeacePalace, seat of the @CIJ_ICJ, I reaffirmed the Netherlands’ commitment to advancing peace through law and promoting the international legal order through dialogue and cooperation.🎥⤵️

M John Harrison has won the 2026 Booker Prize for fiction for The End of Everything, his speculative novel set in a post-apocalyptic 21st-century Britain that has been left without government and isolated from the rest of the world. ft.trib.al/D9kkT3z
A timless #Ethiopia n proverb tells a story of two weeping children whose tears looked alike, yet held different worlds. One cried because his mother went to the market. The other cried because she passed. እናቱ የሞተችበትና እናቱ ገበያ የሄደችበት እኩል ያለቅሳሉ

Today, I witnessed the signing of the Host Country Agreement between Uganda and the African Union for the establishment of the African Union Humanitarian Agency. I thank the African Member States for the confidence they have placed in Uganda.
The humanitarian challenges facing Africa require a coordinated continental response. We must work together to ensure that our people have access to the basic necessities of life, including food, shelter, clothing and medicine. This is a responsibility for all African countries, and every Member State must play its part.

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Intercommunal violence in southern Ethiopia has forced nearly 50k people to flee into Kenya.
I’ve allocated $3M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF to help partners urgently deliver life-saving food, water, shelter, and health.

Powerful quote by @UN HC for @Refugees @BarhamSalih
“Refugees rarely ask for extraordinary things
They want safety
They want their children educated
They want to work and support their families
And they want the chance to determine their own future”
